Jquery how to find an Object by attribute in an Array

No need for jQuery.

JavaScript arrays have a find method, so you can achieve that in one line:

array.find((o) => { return o[propertyName] === propertyValue })

Example


const purposeObjects = [
    {purpose: "daily"},
    {purpose: "weekly"},
    {purpose: "monthly"}
];

purposeObjects.find((o) => { return o["purpose"] === "weekly" })      

// output -> {purpose: "weekly"}

If you need IE compatibility, import this polyfill in your code.
